What should a questioner do who sees a committed young man in her dreams, and he appears before her frequently and preempts her in forums with his words, and she does not want to occupy her mind with something that does not exist, and should she talk to her friend to talk to him again?

Dreams are not to be relied upon, especially if they are mere self-talk. It is permissible to propose marriage to the young man again, while adhering to Islamic etiquette. However, if rejection is highly probable, it is better to avoid it to prevent self-abasement. One must seek Allah's help and look for another husband. A woman may offer herself for marriage directly or through friends. As for the pangs of conscience due to excessive sensitivity, its remedy lies in seeking Allah's help, patience, and striving against one's self.
